Jun 9, 2006 (newstodate): Turkish Airlines hopes to see its route between Istanbul and Dushanbee, Tajikistan, developing into a new export lane for Tajikistan.
The carrier opened the route on February 3, 2006, with a weekly A320 flight after having initially applied for rights to offer two or three frequencies, which was denied.
80 percent of Tajikistan's international air traffic is connected to Russia, but Turkish Airlines hopes to see a breach in the traditional export patterns by offering agricultural producers an alternative lane for exports of perishables to the European markets.
